Case Study: William & Mary University doubles grant submissions with Instrumentl

William & Mary University doubles grant submissions with Instrumentl and cuts proposal time by 94%

William & Mary University's Corporate and Foundation Relations team was overburdened by inefficient and fragmented grant management systems. They used multiple redundant databases, spreadsheets, and tools, which led to duplicated efforts, missed opportunities, and significant stress. This disjointed process prevented them from scaling their operations and pursuing new funding sources effectively.

By implementing Instrumentl and its AI-powered grant writing assistant, Instrumentl Apply, the team consolidated all of their workflows into a single platform. This solution dramatically reduced the time spent per proposal from over 7 hours to just 26 minutes, a 94% time savings. As a result, Instrumentl helped them double their monthly grant submissions from 30 to 70, diversify their pipeline to include 60% new funders, and they are on track to save $250,000 annually in staffing costs while raising up to $2.5 million in new funding.
